Answer 15

Dr Suess books were my favorite, and are my son's favorite.

Just to list a few:

Oh Say Can You Say (there is also a Dinosaur edition of this book)

The Cat in the Hat

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

I think children like these books because they rhyme, and they normally have pretty easy words that children can sound out if they are beginning readers.
